SBG Global Opening Line: Blue Jays - 170, Total 8.5 Under -120

The Toronto Blue Jays are coming off a sweep of the defending World Champion Boston Red Sox over the weekend. They will look to keep their hot streak going as they open up a series against Oakland on Tuesday. The Blue Jays will go with A.J. Burnett while the A’s will counter with Rich Harden. SBG Global reports that early MLB betting has the public taking Blue Jays at Home.

The Blue Jays did just about everything right against Boston in their sweep. “To start off that way, where we’re playing sound defensively, pitching well and to see the bats come in and take advantage of chances, it’s nice to see that early on,” said pitcher Roy Halladay. Jeremy Accardo earned his third save in the Sunday finale. The Blue Jays team ERA through their first six games is 2.94. Burnett had a nice opening game as he defeated the Yankees 5-2 last Wednesday, giving up two runs in six innings. “A.J. was dominating,” manager John Gibbons said, “He threw some good changeups, and he was locked in with some good breaking balls - that was great to see out of him. That’s what he can do, and I’m proud of the guy.” Burnett is 1-1 with a 2.18 ERA in three career starts against Oakland.

Rich Harden will get the start for the A’s. He has been excellent so far this season giving up only one earned run in 11 innings over two starts. He gave up only four hits in five scoreless innings last Wednesday but the A’s couldn’t score and lost the game after he left. Harden has not had much success against Toronto in his career going 0-3 with 5.59 ERA in five starts. The A’s took two of three from Cleveland over the weekend and nearly swept the Tribe but lost 2-1 on Sunday. Last season the A’s won the season series against the Blue Jays 5-4.
